Facility-requested visit·October 18, 2022

The facility inspection was conducted by Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) Wisehart on 10/18/22. The inspection was a licensee initiated case management visit because the licensee has requested a capacity increase to 14 children. The licensee and aide were supervising 3 day care children at the time of visit and operating within the limitations of her current licensee ratio's. The LPA toured the facilities indoor and outdoor. The off-limits areas of the home are the master bedroom/bathroom, laundry room and 2 bedrooms and garage which have key locks and doorknob covers. Children have access to the kitchen, dining/living rooms and one bathroom and playroom. The children use the back yard as the outdoor play area, and it is fully fenced. No bodies of water were on the premises. Firearms are locked and ammunition is stored locked and separate from the firearms. Poisons were locked in the garage and cleaning chemicals were locked in the laundry room. The LPA reviewed the ratios for a large license and the licensee acknowledged she understood the ratio requirements. Based on the space/accommodations available at this facility and the fire marshal granting their approval on 10/11/22 for the 14 children, the capacity increase request is granted. LPA will process this capacity increase and mail an updated license to reflect this capacity change to 14 children. An exit interview was conducted with Licensee and no deficiencies were cited during today’s visit. Notice of Site Visit was given to licensee to post for 30 days.
